What a cutie, I know! This little lady has settled in nicely to life around the house with mom & dad — and her two fur siblings (who as you’ll see in the photos are totally willing to also shower her with love and attention!) It was such a privilege to be able to capture the everyday moment of family cuddles in Lilah’s adorable bedroom! What I love about lifestyle photos is the opportunity to be relaxed in your own home, to not worry about if you have remembered to bring everything or not, and to capture the everyday — I’m all for family photos in the gorgeous outdoors, but especially in these little moments, it’s beyond precious to capture the time as it was.

We planned this mini session with Adam & Kristina long before Adam reached out and shared that he was planning on proposing and wanted us to document it! (You can see that fun here as well as their 2018 and 2019 mini sessions!) So, getting to catch back up with them and hear how planning a wedding is going amidst all of the COVID craziness as well as everyday life was so refreshing! We can’t wait to see what these two will do together! Everytime we leave after connecting with them, we feel so valued and cherished, which just shows you how well these two love on those around them. Adam & Kristina, keep working towards building a beautiful marriage and not just that beautiful wedding day!

You know you’re not a parenting newbie when you manage to arrive on time for a mini photo session, with three children, and one of them being only FOUR weeks old. Yup, that’s right! The Sullivan family knew that it’s important to document each precious stage of life and weren’t willing to miss this one, so they set up a family mini photo session with us. Aren’t their two little girls so cute in their matching outfits?

Don’t you just love it when kids have spunk? You know, that adorable, somewhat sassy, fast-retort, and yet oh-so-innocent giggles and outlook on life? Yeah, me too! This is why playing — err, I mean photographing — the Beckers family was so much fun! Their sweet girl kept me busily moving and us trying out new things, but boy did we have some fun and photos to prove it!

Meet the Follansbee family and their precious little lady — who we learned they affectionately call “Bear” (aaaaaaawwwwww!!). We met up at Oakwood Park in Cottage Grove with these three to capture their family photos for a mini session, and you can’t help but fall in love with this little cutie!
